1. M OTION AND P OSITION

2. P OSITION DESCRIBES THE LOCATION OF AN OBJECT The position is the location of that place of object. You often describe the position by comparing its position from where you are For example, you might say the mailbox is 5 meters south from my front door.

3. P OSITION A position is always given compared to an origin. The origin is a fixed reference point. For example, when you give directions from your house to the school, your house is the origin

4. D ESCRIBING POSITION Similar to describing a point on a graph or a number line. The origin is at zero A positive position is to the right or above the origin A Negative position is to the left or below the origin. Think of longitude and latitude on a map

5. D ESCRIBING A POSITION

6. M EASURING DISTANCE Start at the origin. Walk 5 m to your left and 9 meters to the right and 2 m to the left. Where are you now 2m Start at the origin and walk 2m east, 7m west and 6m east. Where are you now? 2m east Challenge: Walk 10 miles north, 3 miles east, 14 miles south, 2 miles west, 4 miles north and 1 mile west. Where are you now? Back to the origin

7. M OTION IS A CHANGE IN POSITION Motion - the change of position over time. starting position ending position As she jumps both her horizontal and vertical position changes

8. D ESCRIBING MOTION A change in an objects position tells you that motion took place, but it does not tell you how quickly the object changed position.

9. R ELATIVE M OTION file:///E:/Animation%20List.html# position is described by using a reference point motion is described by using a frame of reference as the location of the observer, who may be in motion.

10. R ELATIVE MOTION If you were seated on the train, who or what would be moving compared with you? Who would be still compared with you?
